Loved the food! Definitely worth a shot if you’re looking for great in season dining. The chicken was cooked to absolute perfection, I’m usually weary about eating the skin on chicken but it was actually to die for. 10/10 recommend this place. Also they make really great cocktails and mocktails.

Listen, I have travelled all over this country (DC, LA, etc.) dining at Michelin Star establishments and I have yet to find a place like Lark. It’s not just the variety in their menu, the unique takes on classic flavors, or the ever-impressive custard flavor of the week- it is the quality of the ingredients that go into their food and drinks and the expertise of the people that craft them. Leah is a national treasure behind the bar. I have never seen a drink menu so unique, curated, and varied. New ingredients (that I usually can’t even pronounce) bring such incredible flavor and mouth feel to every creative concoction. In regards to food, I oftentimes need to physically restrain my husband from smooching the head chef on the forehead. Their pork chop is unrivaled, the vegetarian options always leverage fresh ingredients, and their rotating menu truly displays the talent and versatility of the back of house staff. Speaking of staff, I have yet to experience anything less than exceptional customer service. At this point, we’ve been regulars for a little over a year and I can truly say that every member of the team is well-informed, courteous, and efficient beyond belief. I bring everyone I know and love to this restaurant and it never fails to impress. This type of meal in New York would surely surpass a $500 price point but here, in little ol’ Janesville, its the most reasonably priced high dining experience in this county, possibly even the lower half of the state. I cannot recommend Lark enough- if you love good food, good drinks, and good service, grab a reservation and come on down for one of the best nights out you’ve had in a while.

First time customers and Lark did not disappoint. Cocktails were amazing and used fresh ingredients. Food was excellent. Recommend doing their 3 course monthly special to make sure you get the full experience. The asparagus carbonara was amazing and my husband enjoyed the featured entree. Finished off with a rhubarb desert. We will definitely be back!

One of our favorite restaurants period. Flavor of their dishes is unlike anything you have ever eaten. Always creative, never standard dishes. Portions are always huge. Prices are worth their high quality standards!

My wife and I have been here a few times, but I do not expect us to go back. Most recently, I ordered the pork chop. It was very thick, and the inside was undercooked and rare at best. The middle of the pork was visibly undercooked and cool to the touch, similar to a very rare steak. I requested that it be cooked longer, since generally pork should not be eaten if it is that rare. I was surprised they would serve such rare pork. They did not seem to like it that I sent it back, even though I expressed calm concerns about it being unsafe to eat.

Limited but nice wine selection. Strawberry salad had many interesting ingredients that blended well. Pork chop was huge and cooked to perfection. Collectivo coffee was ideal way to end meal.

Super cute building and friendly servers, but the meals were tiny and expensive (and unfortunately not that great.)

Fantastic food, delicious drinks! We had the asparagus carbonara special. It was to die for. Just delectable! The crab uttapan small plate was amazing as well. We tried the hot chicken and the chicken and mac. Both were phenomenal. Seriously, folks, you are missing out if you’re not trying the drink and food menu at Lark.
